The accident happened during the night towards Friday and the truck's trailer blocks the lanes in an easterly direction, ie in the direction of Enköping. The accident occurred between Morgendal traffic area at the height of Munktorp and Sörstafors traffic level at Kolbäck.

Traffic is redirected in the direction of Enköping, from the Strö traffic stop in Köping to the Sörstafors traffic stop. Count on queues. The Swedish Transport Administration estimates that salvage will take time and, preliminarily, the E18 will again be open for traffic at 12.00
